I believe the acclaim holds the honour of being the most reliable BL car period , no doubt will corrected on here if I've been misinformed

Yep, so more reliable than anything BL, as previously posited.

[sheffcortinacentre]

Correct, but lots still didn't want to buy it due to this.

Was a good car though.

[High Jetter]

Was very good. Got one to wheelspin in 2nd away from lights.

I heard that the assembly workers were surprised at how well the pieces fitted together compared to what they were usually putting together.

My Gran had an Acclaim for many years.

I don't want to steal Remspoor's thunder but yes it is - Clifford Tower. The Imps have 'VY' numbers - issued to York from 1928 to the end.

KKP1 a 1948 Bentley Mk6 chassis with a Hooper 'Empress' body still seems to survive. Given at the time it was worth more than two of the houses in the picture in SE London - it would have all been bent back into shape - probably at Hoopers at their Acton works - in Metroland. A very expensive car at the time - given that the owner did not opt for the 'standard steel' body but had a coachbuilt car made.

Here are some outside the factory:

Reeth Green. the 1980s.

Didn't stop germans buying Dixis or japanese buying various licence-built Hillmans and Austins, evidence suggests most car buyers don't give a shit about such things.
